SOLUTION.

An Ideal Garden.

A garden like a room should be,

With carpet green to rest the eye;

Where tread is cool and soft and free;

And on it here and there a tree

To give us shade from noonday sky:

To give the birdies room for glee.

And all around us we should see,

And all be fain to specify,

Blossoms in luxuriancy.

And oh the happiness! that we

Should be so blessed to testify

That it is good alive to be.
